2012 Isle of Man Boys Championships **note - date changed**

The Isle of Man Junior Championships will be held at Peel on Sunday 15th July (postponed from 8th) - the Isle of Man Golf Union have supplied the following information:

The format has changed this year with the under 18 Championship being a medal played over 36 holes while the under 14 Championship will be a stableford played over 18 holes. Both competitions will be played on the same date.

Participants will only be able to play in either the under 18 or the under 14 championship.

The Trustrum cup, for the best under 16, will be played in conjunction with the under 18 championship & will be the best medal score over 36 holes.

The competition is one of the longest running in the junior section, the John Perry Trophy. It will be a stableford for all sections (white tees for platinum/gold boys).

After the golf, we would like to hold a bring and buy sale. The idea here is to give everyone an opportunity to bring along any golf equipment, clothing etc that may no longer fit or be of use to them......this can then be offered, for a small charge, to other juniors.

Proceeds from the night, including the bring and buy sale, will be donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer - a great cause and one that one of our committee, Glenn Saunders, recently walked the full length of the TT course for as part of his separate fund raising effort. Here is a link for further information:

It is your responsibility for your score. Signing for an incorrect score may result in you missing out on a prize or even being disqualified. We have had a couple of cases in the last few weeks of people signing for the wrong scores.

Farewell Martin !!!!

After 9 years and countless hours of his own time donated to the club and to PGC Juniors, Martin Ellis decided to stand down from his post as Junior organiser this year. After a whipround from the club and all but a few of the members signing his retirement card, Martin was presented with a few gifts from past junior Captains last night as a mark of everyones appreciation of his time and dedication to our club. Martin was very gracious (and surprsingly quick !!!) in his farewell speech thanking all those who have helped him in the past but notably the juniors he has helped throughout his term in office. Enjoy your retirement Martin !!

Skills Challenge

On the evening of Thursday 21st April 2011 we ran the first of two National Skills Challenges for the Peel GC Juniors. There were 12 players which included the Junior Captain and Vice Captain-Andrew Dixon and Rob Condra all ably assisted by Kelvin and Rob Dawson and Brian Kelly.The Skills challenge covers 5 golfing disciplines PUTTING, CHIPPING, PITCHING, BUNKER PLAY, and FULL SWING. The young players were suitably tested by each of these but performed admirably.Here is a photograph of the participents.

Back to school revised starting times

Please note that starting times on Tuesday 26th April are as follows:-

Non handicappers should be at the club by 1630 for a flag competition. _______________________

Congratulations to Emma on being chosen to represent England at the Scottish under 16 Open Championship. Her talent, dedication and hard work are now being recognised at national level and she is a tremendous credit to the Isle of Man and of course Peel Golf Club. We are all very proud of her. Click on the link below to read a recent BBC article about Emma.

Following his victory two weeks ago in the Under 14 Island Boys Championship, Herman Loubser went on to complete a notable double the following weekend when he became the winner of the 9 -11 age group in the English Golf Union's National Skills Challenge.

Several thousand young golfers entered this competition from across England competing initially at local level and through regional finals to the grand final at the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. Herman won the Isle of Man leg of the competition at Port St Mary and so qualified for the Northern Regional Finals which were held on August 13th at Manchester Golf Club. Despite heavy rain showers, Herman beat the other 23 northern qualifiers to become the regional winner and so progress to the grand final. The EGU's Skills Challenge competition comprises 10 tests of chipping, putting, bunker play and full swings and Herman beat the other regional winners from the Midlands, Southeast and Southwest of England by 4 points largely due to holing one of his chip shots and a bunker shot to become champion.

At age 11 and with a handicap of 8, great things beckon in the world of golf for Herman.

A clean sweep for Peel Juniors at Douglas Junior Captain's Day.

A number of Peel Juniors took part in Junior Captain's Day at Douglas golf club and swept the board. Ana Dawson with 46 points took first place, Owen Dawson with 45 points took second place and Killian Conroy with 40 points came third. Well done to you all.

Adam McAuley scored an excellent 38 points to win the Isle of Man Golf Union Under 14 Boys' Championship on Sunday 6th September 2009 in awful weather conditions. The rain was virtually continuous throughout the afternoon's play and the wind made playing conditions even more difficult. Nonetheless he only just pipped Danny Kane whose 37 points was again an excellent score on the day. Third on the day with 36 points was Daniel Corkill who won the best net in the 29 to 45 handicap category with second place in that category going to James E Kelly with 35 points and third to Joe Kane, brother of Danny. Herman Loubser freshly returned from a summer in South Africa was third in the 0 -28 handicap group.

The award of Golf Mark to Peel Golf Club recognises the work of a considerable number of volunteer helpers, both parents and friends. The Golf Mark accreditation means that the English Golf Union and the English Women's Golf Association recognise Peel as one of a group of British Clubs that have in place a Junior system where children are introduced to Golf in a safe environment and are helped and encouraged to learn the game both technically and in the best spirit and traditions, whatever their race, sex or capabilities.
